Challenge for better desalination technology(Install a Large Desalination Unit MED - Case Study)
ARWADEX - 2
Desalination is considered as main source of drinking water .
ARWADEX - 3
Main existing desalination technologies :
- Thermal processes ( MSF , MED )- Membrane process ( SWRO)
ARWADEX - 4
The Challenges:
▪ Reduce water cost ▪ Increase the efficiency▪ Decrease the energy consumption
This needs searching for new technology?
ARWADEX - 5
New Challenging DesalinationTechnology
ARWADEX - 6
Shuaiba MED unit project :
▪ World’s largest capacity ▪ World’s highest performance
ARWADEX - 7
2016Design conceptual idea
Capacity 20 MIGD(91,200 m3/D).
Performance ratio (PR)
14.6 ( kg-distillate/2,326kJ
heat input)
Gained Output Ratio
(GOR)
15.8( kg-distillate/kg-steam)
ARWADEX - 8
2018The Challenge became reality :
▪ Actual Capacity : 92,568 m3 / day▪ Actual PR : 14.65 ( kg-distillate/2,326kJ)▪ Actual GOR : 15.95 ( kg-distillate/kg-steam)
ARWADEX - 9
ARWADEX - 10
▪ Completed all Manufacture and construction works and now its in service with ,
▪ High Quality and Efficiency .
▪ World’s Records
Project Achievement
ARWADEX - 11
The increase of unit capacity of MED-TVC system
ARWADEX - 12
The increase in gain output ratio of large-scale desalination plants
ARWADEX - 13
Thanks for your attention
